Notes
Jay's Notes:
Digitally Remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed January 6, 2006.
Frequency analysis revealed a strange upward slope from around 12khz out beyond 22khz. This is why the high end is so bright and tinny sounding. It's not known what caused this, though, it is not very common to see this on a master reel source. Perhaps the recorder had an extended range setting that was set improperly or possibly recorded with dolby and played back without dolby. In any case, the curve was corrected, making for a more natural sounding high end.
The mix is all over the place, sometimes perfect and sometimes overdriven and badly distorted. Together with the cuts, somebody must have been a bit too Stoned. And at the Catholic Center no less...the shame. LOL!
From the original text file, prior to Bertha Remastering:

Elite Elite Good Lovin'
Man, when I hear them jamming behind pig during GLs and Love Lights during 70-72, its not that I want Pig to zip it..its that I can't believe that at no
...
other time, in any other song, did they ever explore this specific style or approach to jamming. It is so juicy. But it exists only when its the Pigpen w/ GD as backing band. This version in particular is a smoke show. Pig is on fire, the band is a supernova mid-climax. I went back to my notes on the best Good Lovin's and this was my write-up for this one, "Darkness Jam…”Catholic Good Lovin” The whole band comes out firing contra spread lasers and destroy everything in sight. The lyrics haven’t been over for 60 seconds before they are killing it. The pace is frenetic, but the music, despite being aggressive, powerful, and heavy, is still controlled. Jerry is off the charts. Awesome evil theme at end of 3rd beginning of 4th minute. This version is scorching hot. End of 4th, opening 5th sees that 71 GL jam again although this one stays out of the happy zone. They leave it behind very quickly. Pig starts at minute 6. Nice stuff from Pig. Band is firing on all cylinders. 13th minute a back and forth thing btw Jerry and Bobby gets to develop fully and the outcome is awesome. 14:38, and holy testicle Tuesdays Batman. Darkness Jam!!!. Between the first 6 minutes and the minutes leading up to Darkness Jam and the jam itself. think I may have found my first lock here " Don't make the mistake of just listening to GL and moving on. There is inspired play all over the place during this one. But if you are short on time make sure you check Hard to Handle too.

To my ears, all versions of this recording so far sound identical, aside from how much of the show is on them. The Good Lovin' is spectacular, both Pig's
...
rap and the jamming. The Second That Emotion is also awesome. On the whole, though, kind of a shabby show, but yeah, great effort.

great show
Is there a slight bit of high-end peaking, or are my speakers blown? It doesn't matter, this is a five-star effort. It would be nice, of course, if we
...
could hear Ron's organ. And check out Phil essentially singing lead at the beginning of Cumberland, until Jerry and Bob decide to join him.

After the St. Pattys Parade
Was this the night of the St. Patrick's day parade ? At the concession stand they sold pints of orange drink from Blue Ribbon Dairy.

I was there
hello- The Catholic Youth Center, or CYC for better or worse, Was a relatively large concrete building that was basically a gym where local highschools
...
held events like basketball. It was owned by the Diocese of Scranton but during the seventies and and eighties it held many a rock concert, wrestling and boxing show. The building still stands though I believe the local university now owns it. OK, to the matter at hand. I remember the Blue Riders of the Purple Sage opening, three singers across the front of the stage and Jerry playing pedal steel. The singing was great and the music most entertaining except I was pressed up against the right hand bass speaker. A couple of times I thought my innards might liquify. As for the Dead, I remember something that happened between the Dead taking the stage and the music eventually beginning. There was an obnoxious guy with a british accent whining that the yellow spotlights will "burn the retinas, no, too bright, they'll burn the retinas. Let's see what you get when you use red and blue" to which Bob Weir replied "why you'll get purple of course". The British guy shut up. Finally. -thanks be seeing you

How Big Was the Youth Center?
Who knows? But the Grateful Dead made it sound huge. An excellent show with the New Riders opening... sadly truncated by curfew? There's not a lot written,
...
but perhaps there should be. It's a fine outing by essentially, a four piece band (and cameo singer), who was pretty hot to trot those days. All first set songs are epic, peppy versions so full of energy it's hard to stop dancing. This show was well enough recorded a listener can immediately sense the depth of it. The subsequent remaster renders this a true find. There's some eccentric playing too. Noteworthy is the wacky groove they catch on Hard to Handle. You just wish it would never stop. And SO many great versions of alltime faves: Playin' is short and sassy! Sugar Magnolia rages! Truckin' is hypnotic! Pigpen Good Lovin'... lunatic! This show is OUTRAGEOUS! Listen for the Darkness Darkness hint before the final verse/chorus of Good Lovin.' Classic. Picture Jerry, Bobby, Phil and Pig singing their fool heads off. Beyond electric. Then whap! into Second That Emotion. Oh Holy Night! Phil's bass feels like it's sittin' in your lap. Yet, STE is probably the one song that does not fit in, but so what? It just sounds sooooo goooooooood. Interesting choppy guitar, early version of Greatest which is cut off before JBG. Jerry, whose guitar has been glistening all evening, shreds. And...totally spent, the band's UJB is a sweet and easy closer. Even with inherent tape operator glitches (5 song beginnings/endings are clipped) this effort merits a 10.
